2020-04-30netlink: add infrastructure to expose policies to userspaceJohannes Berg
Add, and use in generic netlink, helpers to dump out a netlink policy to userspace, including all the range validation data, nested policies etc. This lets userspace discover what the kernel understands. For families/commands other than generic netlink, the helpers need to be used directly in an appropriate command, or we can add some infrastructure (a new netlink family) that those can register their policies with for introspection. I'm not that familiar with non-generic netlink, so that's left out for now. The data exposed to userspace also includes min and max length for binary/string data, I've done that instead of letting the userspace tools figure out whether min/max is intended based on the type so that we can extend this later in the kernel, we might want to just use the range data for example. Because of this, I opted to not directly expose the NLA_* values, even if some of them are already exposed via BPF, as with min/max length we don't need to have different types here for NLA_BINARY/NLA_MIN_LEN/NLA_EXACT_LEN, we just make them all NL_ATTR_TYPE_BINARY with min/max length optionally set. Similarly, we don't really need NLA_MSECS, and perhaps can remove it in the future - but not if we encode it into the userspace API now. It gets mapped to NL_ATTR_TYPE_U64 here. Note that the exposing here corresponds to the strict policy interpretation, and NLA_UNSPEC items are omitted entirely. To get those, change them to NLA_MIN_LEN which behaves in exactly the same way, but is exposed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2020-04-30netlink: remove NLA_EXACT_LEN_WARNJohannes Berg
Use a validation type instead, so we can later expose the NLA_* values to userspace for policy descriptions. Some transformations were done with this spatch: @@ identifier p; expression X, L, A; @@ struct nla_policy p[X] = { [A] = -{ .type = NLA_EXACT_LEN_WARN, .len = L }, +NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN_WARN(L), ... }; Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-04-30nl80211: link recursive netlink nested policyJohannes Berg

2020-04-30netlink: remove type-unsafe validation_data pointerJohannes Berg
In the netlink policy, we currently have a void *validation_data that's pointing to different things: * a u32 value for bitfield32, * the netlink policy for nested/nested array * the string for NLA_REJECT Remove the pointer and place appropriate type-safe items in the union instead. While at it, completely dissolve the pointer for the bitfield32 case and just put the value there directly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-04-30tcp: tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() should be more conservativeEric Dumazet
Currently, tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() sends an ack if prior acks were 'compressed', if room has to be made in tp->selective_acks[] But there is no guarantee all four sack ranges can be included in SACK option. As a matter of fact, when TCP timestamps option is used, only three SACK ranges can be included. Lets assume only two ranges can be included, and force the ack: - When we touch more than 2 ranges in the reordering done if tcp_sack_extend() could be done. - If we have at least 2 ranges when adding a new one. This enforces that before a range is in third or fourth position, at least one ACK packet included it in first/second position.

2020-04-30tcp: add tp->dup_ack_counterEric Dumazet
In commit 86de5921a3d5 ("tcp: defer SACK compression after DupThresh") I added a TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH bias to tp->compressed_ack in order to enable sack compression only after 3 dupacks. Since we plan to relax this rule for flows that involve stacks not requiring this old rule, this patch adds a distinct tp->dup_ack_counter. This means the TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH value is now used in a single location that a future patch can adjust: if (tp->dup_ack_counter < TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH) { tp->dup_ack_counter++; goto send_now; } This patch also introduces tcp_sack_compress_send_ack() helper to ease following patch comprehension. This patch refines LINUX_MIB_TCPACKCOMPRESSED to not count the acks that we had to send if the timer expires or tcp_sack_compress_send_ack() is sending an ack.
